I remember the scuba shop had a color code of strength. they sold JBL so you're probablley correct being a brand name hierarchy. I'll tie the wishbone prior to next expedition to preserve rubber. none detachable reel remember for larger 36"+ floatline and starting off w/ surface pelagics. I...

the blues feel like 50LBs each where seriously more powerful than the original black rubber which was basically spearpole rubber felt like 25LBs each. I do understand the 300-400% of stretch. this was'nt a exact answer but a ballpark of power. Since I'm now making my own bands I forsee fine...

I'm redoing the 2 premade JBL blue slings both where same length 24" on my 41" JBL rail gun. using 5/8 rubber, I cut 4' in half so 2x 24" bands. you suggest fine tuning of bands thickness & lengths, even before reading you're advice I was actually planning to make the first (short) band 1/2"...

How much LBs. force will 5/8”x 24” amber sling produce? Here’s the sling https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCAMOR2/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1 there isn’t a color code hierarchy of strength usually associated w/ colored bands. Same question (LBs. force) for upgraded JBL blue & the weak...

The kinks never end w/ me here I spooling my new fly reel. Used a pencil though the reel techinic and simply rolled it of as I reeled the reel. Managed to roll estimated 80’ of 1.8mm extra strong cord.initialley I purchased the cord to tie my new shooting slings wishbones. ?1. can the...

yes I tried untwisting by hand in the back yard got some kinks out. deepest depth. so far is only 120' I did try the drop an let it untwist kindof like a old fashion telephone cord however left the anchor a 8LB danforth probably prevented it from unspinning. thanks for tips STB I'm not...

excellent advice come to think of it did I observe this bucket of rope at home depot pulled off from center. two years ago I attempted unrolling the 300' of 3/8" anchor line has infinite kinks. I unrolled like a roll of say coax cable wire basicely rolling roll on the ground it also didn't...

dam I got the wrong stuff. really don't foresee a need to use 300LB for rod/reel leaders sending back. I also purchased 100' 900LB 1.8mm cord to tie wishbone to slings. maybe I use this for reel? it won't hold it's shape. and I assume it's durable enough for saltwater...

excellent links I I had the red tide bookmarked will save the rest. however I'm convinced the real #s are twice what is published. the water in the GOM gulf of mexico last weekend was 91* this from the local news for beach goer's. I assume at 80' or deeper basically blue water this temp. # is...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV18F10/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1 this helps I have it in my cart, if I decide to get brave and enter saltwater, to bad destin,fl is infected. I bet there will be alot of canceled vacations on this 4th july.

Sadly Another one bites the dust Florida woman dies of flesh-eating bacteria, family says I bet the family from Pittsburg will never enter the saltwater. now I read my cruising area Destin, FL is infected
